Equal parts of japs, onion, tomatoes, then some fresh cilantro (to taste) & add the juice of a few limes... dead simple. Break out the tortilla chips & cerveza!!! Enjoy!!!
I made your recipe tonight, but added diced avocado. Everything else was from the garden. I shared this with my Mom for dinner, as we spent the whole day making jam and getting ready to can salsa tomorrow. Do you and your wife concentrate on canning one item/day or can multiple items/day? The hardest part of making jam is constantly cleaning all the utensils/jam maker so I don't cross contaminate anything. I don't want to give anybody botulism for Christmas.
This recipe is always made fresh in very small meal-sized batches & is never canned.
Maybe you are getting it confused with Picante Sauce, which is made in large batches & then canned (it takes the better part of a day to prepare & can 4-5 gallons of anything). They are not the same...
